Angel requested Paella for her birthday because she’s never had it. So she threw it out there for someone to make it for her birthday. I grabbed it because I’ve never made it and if someone else was going to make it I’m sure it would have meat in it. So I selfishly […]

Meg and Diane decided to have a surprise birthday party for Paula. Meg got her a really fancy Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar as a gift. Wow. Others got together and got Paula an amp. Wow again! Meg and Diane asked if I could make a guitar cake for the party. […]

I’ve been recovering all day. Exhausted! Katy’s on her way back to NC. How lucky am I to watch her experience Los Angeles. The trip was great. We made a list of things to do and pretty much accomplished everything on the list. Katy was enthusiastic and willing to try everything. Katy’s a great kid […]

My niece Katy got a trip to Los Angeles for her birthday! So we flew back to LA from North Carolina the day after Christmas. We’ve been running her ragged as we like to do with visitors. We mapped out the usual places to go visit and have been seeing them every day. The Grove, […]

Happy Birthday Mom! I know she would have loved the party but not the advancing age. I always thought of her as a little kookie, creative and a wheeler dealer. She was smart, tall, thin and beautiful. One of the greatest gifts she gave me was the confidence to do anything I wanted. She always […]

I’m a little late with this but I’ve been a bit under the weather. After a month of fighting off a respiratory thing it finally hit me. Hard. Actually in a a matter of a few hours I felt the sore throat, fever chills, etc, etc come on. After a couple of days with no […]

This year was better than last year for me. Last year was a tough year. On all fronts. This year has not been without it’s serious stresses but I’ll live. Summer was pregnant last year and now we are celebrating the one year birthday of her daughter Nora. Nora is simply adorable. Sweet and girlish […]

Yup, it was my birthday. I had a good one this year – mostly. First, Didi had to go to the vet. Partially for her annual checkup but in the past month she got tons of scabby bumps all over her body. She also has Feline Herpes (which she probably got as a kitten) and […]

Janet can’t eat sugar or carbs because it makes her blood sugar go up. So today is her birthday and she can’t have any sweet! As is the tradition in our department you get stuffed with food on your birthday. That’s just the way we roll. 9am is breakfast, normally bagels or some other wheat […]

I’ve been following the Bakerella blog for over a year now. She’s so cute and talented and has a wonderful blog. I was shocked to find out she had a kidney transplant 18 years ago and it is failing. She’s looking for a donor and I wish I was that unselfish to be able to […]

Didi is 7 today! She seems 3. Still wants to play and run and jump and do all the cat things that cats like. Didi loves interactive play. Meaning she likes to play WITH you, not by herself. Although she does run around like crazy at least once a day. But when she wants you […]

Karin has been a good friend of mine since about 1994. She was temping at Fox when we met. Always opinionated, full of stories and seems to know someone wherever we are. It’s uncanny. Karin celebrated her birthday this past week with a little wine and a little Italian food. It was nice to be […]

I am so glad September is over. I’ll be happy when 2010 is over with too. Not that I want time to pass quicker than it already is. It’s just been a tough one this year. Lots of pain, loss, sorrow, anger, resentment and emotions. Lots of emotions. I have never sobbed as hard as […]

So after my Whoopie Pie fiasco, I had to figure out what ELSE I could make for Kristina’s birthday that would be fun, different, spectacular and actually taste good! Individual lemon tarts were a possibility but just too much work and I’d have to go out and buy little tart pans. I was googling meringue […]

Summer, Leanna and Janet are all expecting (girl, boy, girl) and they are all due within days of each other! They are all beautiful and I hope to chronicle their progress in the coming months. Yo baby!

Janet grew up with unicorns and rainbows. Unfortunately, she was born on tax day. So today I made her a rainbow birthday cake! I’ve been wanting to make this cake for a few months. It’s so striking! Not really a fan of the food coloring but a few drops of gel wont hurt if you […]
